The Beggar

On 9–8-82 I saw a man, Jimmy Packer, outside a Safeway store, asking for $1 for wine. Usually I’d brush by or give him a quarter to rid myself of the nuisance, but I told him, “I need to run an errand. If you’re still here in 5 minutes and want to dry out, I’ll take you to a 24-hour house where they can help you. He was. I did. (John Underhill, Spokane, WA - - As quoted in 10,000 Sermon Illustrations. Biblical Studies Press)
